I could see telling someone that investing in the Upper West Side of Manhattan is better than doing so in the Lower East Side because values have held up better (OR some other reason -- I don't know if that is true - just an example), but I can't understand how expanding to the state level makes any sense here.I look forward to your thoughts.

I currently have a net worth of about one million in paper assets, and some assets in actual physical metal holdings.

I recently attended the public auction held to sell 20 units in the three MGM Signature towers located just off the Las Vegas strip.

It is a documented fact that 97% of the earth's wealth is held by 3% of the earth's population.

I was always under the impression that deposits were to be held back only when other than normal wear and tear occured such as carpets being permanently stained or windows broken or sheetrock damage requiring more than a light paint touch up.What happens if a tenant challenges deposit withholding?

If you are in the business of property development, are sales of homes held over one year considered capital gains, or ordinary income?

Also, if the buyer is late or defaults, the servicing company can immediately update the seller.Second, the seller's attorney could structure the agreement, so that the buyer's title is held deed in-lieu in the escrow account until the mortgage has been paid off.

Earnest check will held by the title company.
